>Welcome to the amazing world of learn something new every day!
I just learned something new. I knew this...
Matthew 12:40
"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge
fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth."
Which told me that there was no way that Jesus could of been raised
from the dead on Sunday having been crucified on Friday. The days and
nights do not add up. So I thought he must of been raised from the
dead on Monday. Which gives the proper three days and three nights.
But, what I just learned from the TruthOrTradition people totally blows
my mind. They write...
John 20:1
Early the first day of the week,…
The first day of the week is Sunday.
John 20:1
while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw
that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
Notice that it is Sunday morning here and it is still dark, yet the
stone has been removed; the body of Jesus Christ is gone. He has
already risen. The question would be from a traditional stand point,
“If you have Christ buried just before sunset on Friday and he is up on
Sunday morning already and it is actually still dark, then how in the
world can you get three days and three nights in the time period?” You
cannot get three days and three nights from Friday afternoon to Sunday
morning. In fact, you need to back up from Saturday afternoon because
when you look at 1 Corinthians 15, verse 4 it says that Jesus Christ
got up in the daytime." [not night time]
Studying this I have learned not only do they teach us the wrong day
for Jesus having been raised from the dead but they teach us the wrong
day for him being crucified!!!!
Study this to learn more:
http://tinyurl.com/6eafjhp
Amazing how this bit of truth eluded me all these years! I was talking
with Paul and it just makes sense that the devil would want to hide the
actual days from us. After all, he hid Jesus' birthday from us. Now we
find he's been hiding Jesus' death and resurrection days too.

>Well - I never knew that !!!
To those of us who are not too old to learn,
and old enough to admit not knowing!
Q: Why do men's clothes have buttons on the right while women's
clothes have buttons on the left?
A: When buttons were invented, they were very expensive and worn
primarily by the rich. Since most people are right-handed, it is
easier to push buttons on the right through holes on the left.
Because wealthy women were dressed by maids, dressmakers put the
buttons on the maid's right! And that's where women's buttons have
remained since.
Q: Why do ships and aircraft use 'mayday' as their call for help?
A: This comes from the French word m'aidez -meaning 'help me' --
and is pronounced, approximately, 'mayday.'
Q: Why are zero scores in tennis called 'love'?
A: In France , where tennis became popular, round zero on the
scoreboard looked like an egg and was called 'l'oeuf,' which is
French for 'egg.' When tennis was introduced in the US,
Americans (mis)pronounced it 'love.'
Q. Why do X's at the end of a letter signify kisses?
A: In the Middle Ages, when many people were unable to read or write,
documents were often signed using an X. Kissing the X represented an
oath to fulfill obligations specified in the document. The X and the
kiss eventually became synonymous.
Q: Why is shifting responsibility to someone else called 'passing the
buck'?
A: In card games, it was once customary to pass an item, called a buck,
from player to player to indicate whose turn it was to deal. If a
player did not wish to assume the responsibility of dealing, he would
'pass the buck' to the next player.
Q: Why do people clink their glasses before drinking a toast?
A: It used to be common for someone to try to kill an enemy by offering
him a poisoned drink. To prove to a guest that a drink was safe, it
became customary for a guest to pour a small amount of his drink into
the glass of the host. Both men would drink it simultaneously. When a
guest trusted his host, he would only touch or clink the host's glass
with his own.
Q: Why are people in the public eye said to be 'in the limelight'?
A:Invented in 1825,limelight was used in lighthouses and theatres by
burning a cylinder of lime which produced a brilliant light. In the
theatre,a performer 'in the limelight' was the centre of attention.
Q: Why is someone who is feeling great 'on cloud nine'?
A: Types of clouds are numbered according to the altitudes they attain,
with nine being the highest cloud If someone is said to be on cloud
nine, that person is floating well above worldly cares.
Q: In golf, where did the term 'Caddie' come from?
A. When Mary Queen of Scots went to France as a young girl,Louis,
King of France , learned that she loved the Scots game 'golf.' So he
had the first course outside of Scotland built for her enjoyment. To
make sure she was properly chaperoned (and guarded) while she played,
Louis hired cadets from a military school to accompany her. Mary liked
this a lot and when returned to Scotland (not a very good idea in the
long run), she took the practice with her. In French, the word cadet
is pronounced 'ca-day' and the Scots changed it into 'caddie.
Q: Why are many coin banks shaped like pigs?
A: Long ago, dishes and cookware in Europe were made of a dense
orange clay called 'pygg'. When people saved coins in jars made of
this clay, the jars became known as 'pygg banks.' When an English
potter misunderstood the word, he made a container that resembled a
pig. And it caught on.
Q: Did you ever wonder why dimes, quarters and half dollars have notches
(milling), while pennies and nickels do not?
A: The US Mint began putting notches on the edges of coins containing
gold and silver to discourage holders from shaving off small quantities
of the precious metals. Dimes, quarters and half dollars are notched
because they used to contain silver. Pennies and nickels aren't notched
because the metals they contain are not valuable enough to shave.
So there! Now you know!

>Ralph & Edna
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have. Ralph and Edna were both
patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past
the hospital swimming pool, Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end.
He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there.
Edna promptly jumped in to save him. She swam to the bottom and pulled
him out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic
act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as
she now considered her to be mentally stable.
When she went to tell Edna the news she said, 'Edna, I have good news
and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were
able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the
life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays
sound mindedness.
'The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe
belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead.'
Edna replied, 'He didn't hang himself. I put him there to dry.... How
soon can I go home?'
Happy Mental Health Day!
You can do your bit by remembering to send an email to an unstable
friend...

>Congressional Reform Act of 2011
It is time. If you agree, send it to 20 people, good and true. If you
disagree, please delete it. Thanks.
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took
only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people
demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail,
before cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or
less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure.
I'm asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty
people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have
the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2011
1. Term Limits.
12 years only, one of the possible options below..
A. Two Six-year Senate terms
B. Six Two-year House terms
C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms
2. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay
when they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social
Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social
Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all
Americans do.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional
pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in
the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American
people.
8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective
1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen.
Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers
envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s),
then go home and back to work.
If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only
take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.
Maybe it is time.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!
If you agree with the above, pass it on. If not, just delete
You are one of my 20+.
Please keep it going.

I am sure you have all heard of the mysterious disappearance
of honey bees over the last few years. Bee populations are
disappearing at an alarming rate all around the nation. This
is a crisis because bees pollinate billions of dollars worth
of crops every year.
Beekeepers call the phenomenon of disappearing bees, Colony
Collapse Disorder. But they say no one seems to really know
exactly why this is all happening.
I may have a clue. They are all heading to this woman's house.
A Georgia woman says her home has been swarmed by as many as
10 million bees. The unfortunate homeowner said she phoned a
bee removal expert after she saw the insects flying into her
attic and heard scratching coming from behind her walls.
Bee wrangler Jason Rehr said he expected to find multiple
hives in the attic, but instead found the bees had turned the
entire structure into a giant super-hive with honeycombs on
the ceiling and walls.
Rehr gave his expert opinion of the phenomenon, "This is the
mamma-jamma here. This is the biggest one I've ever seen."
He said he plans to move the bees several miles away from the
house to hives that have been prepared.
-- No sex for dentists who treat spouses ---------
TORONTO - Some Canadian dentists want changes to an Ontario
provincial law that forbids them from having sex with their
spouse if he or she is also their patient. The "no sex with
patients" decree is part of the 1993 Regulated Health
Professions Act, which was crafted to address inappropriate
relationships between psychiatrists and psychologists with
their patients. However, dentists fall under the same
rules, the Toronto Star reported. Orthodontist Randy Lang
wrote a tongue-in-cheek article for the Oral Health Journal
suggesting how dentists could avoid prosecution. "Have your
spouse wear a disguise, like a moustache and beard, when
she or he enters and exits your dental office," he wrote.
"Also, at home, be sure to lock your bedroom door and cover
all the windows with black paper." In response to growing
criticism from dentists, provincial Health Minister Deb
Matthews said Monday she requested a review of the law by
the Health Professions Regulatory Advisory Council, the
Star said.
-- Japanese man, 114, named world's oldest -------
KYODO, Japan - Guinness World Records announced a 114-
year-old Japanese man has been declared the world's oldest
living man following the death of the previous record
holder. Guinness said Jiroemon Kimura of Kyodo celebrated
his 114th birthday Tuesday and inherited the title of the
world's oldest man from Walter Breuning of the United
States, who died April 14. The record-keeping organization
said Kimura, the last known man living to have been born
prior to 1897, is now the third oldest person in Japan and
the sixth oldest person in the world. He is the only man
on the list of the world's 10 oldest people. Kimura said
part of his secret to long life is eating meals in small
portions. "With the sad passing of Walter, the world is
left with the one remaining man who was alive in the 19th
century," said Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness.
"It's incredible to think that Kimura's life spans three
centuries -- when he was born, Dracula had yet to be
published, Queen Victoria was a few weeks from her Diamond
Jubilee and the Wright Brothers were six years from their
first successful test flight. How the world has moved on
during his lifetime!"

By Michael Josephson of Character Counts (685.5)
Marta was a hard-working single mother. When her minister sermonized
about "living a life that matters," she worried that working to raise
her kids and going to church wasn't enough. So, on the bus to work she
made a list of other jobs she could do and volunteer work she could try.
Sylvia, an elderly woman, saw the worry on Marta's face and asked what
was wrong. Marta explained her problem. Sylvia said, "Oh my, did your
minister say you weren't doing enough?"
"No," Marta said, "but I don't know how to live 'a life that matters.'"
"You don't have to change jobs or do more volunteer work," Sylvia
consoled her. "It's enough that you're a good mother. But if you want to
do more, think about what you can do while doing what you already do.
It's not about what you do, but how you do it." "You don't understand,"
Marta said. "I sell hamburgers. How do I make that significant?"
"How many people do you deal with every day?" Sylvia asked.
"Two to three hundred."
"Well, what if you set out to cheer, encourage, teach, or inspire as
many of those people as you could? A compliment, a bit of advice, a
cheerful hello or a warm smile can start a chain reaction that lights up
lives like an endless string of Christmas bulbs."
"But that's just being nice," Marta protested.
"Right," said Sylvia, "Niceness can change lives." Marta looked at the
old woman. "What do you do?"
"I was a housekeeper until I retired," Sylvia said. "Now I just ride the
bus talking to people."
This is Michael Josephson reminding you that character counts.

1-point perspective fL
>The Lighter Things
As you might remember, the head of a company survived 9/11 because his
son started kindergarten.
Another fellow was alive because it was his turn to bring donuts. One
woman was late because her alarm clock didn't go off in time. One was
late because of being stuck on the New Jersey turnpike because of an
auto accident.
One missed his bus.
One spilled food on her clothes and had to take time to change. One's
car wouldn't start.
One couldn't get a taxi.
The one that struck me was the man who put on a new pair of shoes that
morning, took the various means to get to work, but before he got there,
he developed a blister on his foot. He stopped at a drugstore to buy a
Band-Aid. That is why he is alive today.
Next time your morning seems to be going wrong, you can't seem to find
the car keys, and you hit every red traffic light, don't get mad or
frustrated; it may be just that God is watching over you.

FEMALE HEART ATTACKS
I am an ER nurse and this is the best description of this event that I
have ever heard. Please read, pay attention, and send it on!
FEMALE HEART ATTACKS
I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the
best description I've ever read..
Women and heart attacks (Myocardial infarction). Did you know that
women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have when
experiencing heart attack.. you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the
chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor that
we see in the movies. Here is the story of one woman's experience with
a heart attack.
'I had a heart attack at about 10:30PM with NO prior exertion, NO prior
emotional trauma that one would suspect might have brought it on. I
was sitting all snugly & warm on a cold evening, with my purring cat in
my lap, reading an interesting story my friend had sent me, and
actually thinking, 'A-A-h, this is the life, all cozy and warm in my
soft, cushy Lazy Boy with my feet propped up.
A moment later, I felt that awful sensation of indigestion, when you've
been in a hurry and grabbed a bite of sandwich and washed it down with
a dash of water, and that hurried bite seems to feel like you've
swallowed a golf ball going down the esophagus in slow motion and it is
most uncomfortable. You realize you shouldn't have gulped it down so
fast and needed to chew it more thoroughly and this time drink a glass
of water to hasten its progress down to the stomach. This was my
initial sensation--the only trouble was that I hadn't taken a bite of
anything since about 5:00p.m.
After it seemed to subside, the next sensation was like little
squeezing motions that seemed to be racing up my SPINE (hind-sight, it
was probably my aorta spasms), gaining speed as they continued racing
up and under my sternum (breast bone, where one presses rhythmically
when administering CPR).
This fascinating process continued on into my throat and branched out
into both jaws. 'AHA!! NOW I stopped puzzling about what was
happening -- we all have read and/or heard about pain in the jaws being
one of the signals of an MI happening, haven't we? I said aloud to
myself and the cat, Dear God, I think I'm having a heart attack!
I lowered the foot rest dumping the cat from my lap, started to take a
step and fell on the floor instead. I thought to myself, If this is a
heart attack, I shouldn't be walking into the next room where the phone
is or anywhere else... but, on the other hand, if I don't, nobody will
know that I need help, and if I wait any longer I may not be able to
get up in a moment.
I pulled myself up with the arms of the chair, walked slowly into the
next room and dialed the Paramedics... I told her I thought I was
having a heart attack due to the pressure building under the sternum
and radiating into my jaws. I didn't feel hysterical or afraid, just
stating the facts. She said she was sending the Paramedics over
immediately, asked if the front door was near to me, and if so, to
un-bolt the door and then lie down on the floor where they could see me
when they came in.
I unlocked the door and then lay down on the floor as instructed and
lost consciousness, as I don't remember the medics coming in, their
examination, lifting me onto a gurney or getting me into their
ambulance, or hearing the call they made to St. Jude ER on the way, but
I did briefly awaken when we arrived and saw that the radiologist was
already there in his surgical blues and cap, helping the medics pull my
stretcher out of the ambulance. He was bending over me asking
questions (probably something like 'Have you taken any medications?')
but I couldn't make my mind interpret what he was saying, or form an
answer, and nodded off again, not waking up until the Cardiologist and
partner had already threaded the teeny angiogram balloon up my femoral
artery into the aorta and into my heart where they installed 2 side by
side stints to hold open my right coronary artery.
I know it sounds like all my thinking and actions at home must have
taken at least 20-30 minutes before calling the paramedics, but
actually it took perhaps 4-5 minutes before the call, and both the fire
station and St. Jude are only minutes away from my home, and my
Cardiologist was already to go to the OR in his scrubs and get going on
restarting my heart (which had stopped somewhere between my arrival and
the procedure) and installing the stints.
Why have I written all of this to you with so much detail? Because I
want all of you who are so important in my life to know what I learned
first hand.
1. Be aware that something very different is happening in your body,
not the usual men's symptoms but inexplicable things happening (until
my sternum and jaws got into the act). It is said that many more women
than men die of their first (and last) MI because they didn't know they
were having one and commonly mistake it as indigestion, take some
Maalox or other anti-heartburn preparation and go to bed, hoping
they'll feel better in the morning when they wake up... which doesn't
happen. My female friends, your symptoms might not be exactly like
mine, so I advise you to call the Paramedics if ANYTHING is
unpleasantly happening that you've not felt before. It is better to
have a 'false alarm' visitation than to risk your life guessing what it
might be!
2. Note that I said 'Call the Paramedics.' And if you can take an
aspirin. Ladies, TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE!
Do NOT try to drive yourself to the ER - you are a hazard to others on
the road.
Do NOT have your panicked husband who will be speeding and looking
anxiously at what's happening with you instead of the road.
Do NOT call your doctor -- he doesn't know where you live and if it's
at night you won't reach him anyway, and if it's daytime, his
assistants (or answering service) will tell you to call the
Paramedics. He doesn't carry the equipment in his car that you need to
be saved! The Paramedics do, principally OXYGEN that you need ASAP.
Your Dr will be notified later.
3. Don't assume it couldn't be a heart attack because you have a
normal cholesterol count. Research has discovered that a cholesterol
elevated reading is rarely the cause of an MI (unless it's unbelievably
high and/or accompanied by high blood pressure). MIs are usually
caused by long-term stress and inflammation in the body, which dumps
all sorts of deadly hormones into your system to sludge things up in
there. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be
careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could
survive.
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10
people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life.
*Please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends
(male & female) about whom you care!*

Since this past weekend was Easter the History Channel was
showing all sorts of Biblical and religious programming.
The one show I found particularly engrossing was on angels.
According to the program there are only three angels
mentioned by name in the Bible, those being Michael,
Gabriel and some guy named Larry or something (well,
four if you count Satan).
But apparently there are literally hundreds of angels
mentioned by name in the Apocrypha, or books that have
been excluded from the Bible. It seems that starting with
the first Christian Roman Emperor Constantine, about 1600
years ago, the Bible has been slowly whittled down from
about 600 books to what we have now.
And in all that excluded literature there are hundreds or
even thousands of references to angels. Angels of every
description fulfilling every function from doing clerical
work to mopping up around Heaven.
Since I've never had any exposure to this kind of stuff I
determined to go to the book store and find some literature
to give me a little background. I found a book called "A
Who's Who of the Heavenly Host" which promises to provide
a lot of information I will almost certainly never need.
But, it never hurts to expand your horizons a little, right?

I was in my ninth month of pregnancy and feeling very uncom-
fortable. On top of everything, my pleas for sympathy seemed
to go unnoticed by my husband.
One day I told him, "I hope in your next life you get to be
pregnant!"
He replied, "I hope in your next life you get to be married
to someone who's pregnant!"

A preacher of the old school was describing the events of
Judgement Day and, of course, he used Biblical phraseology
whenever he could.
"Oh, my friends," he intoned, "imagine the suffering of the
sinners as they find themselves cast into the outer darkness,
removed from the presence of the Lord and given to eternal
flames. My friends, at such a time there will be weeping,
wailing and a great gnashing of teeth!"
At this point, one of the elders of the congregation inter-
rupted to say, "But Reverend, what if one of those hopeless
sinners has no teeth?"
The preacher crashed his fist on the pulpit, "My friends,
the Lord is not put out by details. Rest assured... teeth
will be provided!"

A father is in church with three of his young children, in-
cluding his five year old daughter.
As was customary, he sat in the very front row so that the
children could properly witness the service.
During this particular service, the minister was performing
the baptism of a tiny infant. The little five year old girl
was taken by this, observing that he was saying something
and pouring water over the infant's head.
With a quizzical look on her face, the little girl turned
to her father and asked with all the innocence of a five
year old...
"Daddy, why is he brainwashing that baby?"

My grandmother told me how she ended up marrying Grandpa.
She was in her 20s, and the man she was dating left for war.
"We were in love," she recalled, "and wrote to each other
every week. It was during that time that I discovered how
wonderful your grandfather was."
"Did you marry Grandpa when he came home from the war?" I
asked.
"Oh, I didn't marry the man who wrote the letters. Your

>Conquer Doubt
Are your doubts holding you back? The way to conquer your
Doubts is with action.
Wondering about whether you can do it will not get it done.
The only way to know for sure is to jump right in and get
Started.
Avoiding the challenges will only make those challenges grow
Bigger. Instead, walk right up to each challenge, and the
Closer you get, the more ways you'll discover to get beyond
It.
If you wait until conditions are perfect, all you'll ever do
Is wait. Great accomplishments are given birth by starting
From where you are with what you have.
As soon as you start to take action, you'll begin to replace
Your doubts with courage and confidence. The more you do,
The more insignificant and powerless those doubts will
Become.
Stop wondering and start doing. Once you've done it you'll
Always know, without the slightest doubt, that you can.

See: Hebrews 9: 14. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God,
cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Do you know why we have such dead churches today? Do you believe that
people really understand, in their hearts, what God's forgiveness
means? If it just means that I am saved from my sin and going to
heaven and that is the end of it, "alleluia", and "amen", forgiveness
means a lot more.
It means that I am now a Child of God. A Son or Daughter of God. I am
no longer required to knock at the front door to gain entrance. I can
walk right in; I am a part of the family. I now have a recreated
relationship with the Father in my identification with the Cross of
Christ. I now have a degree of holiness that is acceptable and
welcome. I am loved.
God did not ignore my sin He sent His Son. If I have been forgiven
without being altered by that forgiveness, then forgiveness has not
been a benefit to me and we are serving a weak god. But if God has
truly forgiven a person, that person has the heredity of His own Son
living within him. Therefore we have been given the ability, through
forgiveness, to put on the very nature of Jesus.
Going to heaven when we die is a wonderful promise, but living in the
likeness of His Son while we have life is even better. Every believer,
when they pass on, should be able to have a biography written of them
and placed on the shelf titled, "No Greater Love Than This".

>Top Reasons Why God Created Eve (A retread From Andy's Funnies)
1. God was worried that Adam would frequently become lost in the garden
because he would not ask for directions.
2. God knew that one day Adam would require someone to locate and then
hand him the remote.
3. God knew Adam would never go out and buy himself a new fig leaf when
his wore out and would therefore need Eve to buy one for him.
4. God knew Adam would never be able to make a doctor's, dentist or
haircut appointment by himself.
5. God knew Adam would never remember which night to put the garbage on the
curb.
6. God knew if the world was to be populated, men would never, ever be
able to handle the pain of childbearing.
7. As the Keeper of the Garden, Adam would never remember where he left
his tools.
8. Apparently, Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God
caught him hiding in the garden.
9. As the Bible says, "It is not good for man to be alone."
And, finally, the # 1 reason why God created Eve....
10. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back,
scratched his head, and said, "I can do better than that."

>The Blonde's A Witness
Cathy, a stunning blonde was summoned to court
to appear as a witness in a criminal case. The
prosecutor opened his questioning with, "Where
were you the night of August 24th?"
"Objection!" said the defense attorney. "Irrelevant!"
"Oh, that's okay," Cathy said from the witness
stand. "I don't mind answering the question."
"I object!" the defense said again.
"No, really," the blonde witness offered. "I'll
answer."
The judge ruled, "If the witness insists on
answering, there is no reason for the defense
to object."
So the prosecutor repeated the question, "Where
were you the night of August 24th?"
Cathy replied brightly, "I don't know."

>May I See Your Wife, Please?
A guy was known among his friends to be very brief in his discourse
and never said too much.
One day, a saleswoman promoting a certain brand of brushes knocked at
his door and asked to see his wife. So the guy told her that she
wasn't home.
"Well," the woman said, "could I please wait for her?"
The man directed her to the drawing room and left her there for more
than an hour.
After becoming a bit impatient, she called out for him and asked,
"May I ask where your wife is?"
"She went to the cemetery," he replied.
"And when is she returning?" asked the saleslady.
"Not sure." said the man.
"Well, how long has she been there?" asked the salesady.
"Eleven years." answered the man.

>-->Quotes & Thunkers:
"Scientists now say French kissing can lead to sexually
transmitted diseases. I think I have a way to avoid French
kissing: Get married." -David Letterman
"In 2001, a blind American climber reached the summit of
Mount Everest. At least that's what they told him."
-Craig Ferguson
"Legendary movie producer Roger Corman is making a movie
for the Sci-Fi channel. It's about a creature that's half
shark and half octopus: 'Sharktopus.' Take that, Avatar."
-Craig Ferguson
"President Obama was at a bookstore in Iowa yesterday and he
bought a $37 pop-up book for Press Secretary Robert Gibbs'
son. Gibbs said, 'It's a little expensive, sir' and Obama
said, 'I can handle it.' Then he called the president of
China and said, 'Can I borrow 37 bucks?'" -Jimmy Fallon
"According to a new study, polar bears will probably be ex-
tinct by the year 2050. So enjoy eating them while you can."
-Dave Letterman
"A woman in Britain said that her pet goldfish survived for
seven hours in the open air outside of his tank, which is a
world record — for goldfish torture. In the fish world,
that's known as 'airboarding.'" -Jimmy Fallon
"Today, President Obama canceled the White House Easter Egg
Hunt. Instead, the kids will be on the White House lawn
drilling for oil." -Jay Leno
"'Clash of the Titans' does look pretty good because it's
based on Greek mythology and has the Greek icons: Zeus,
Mount Olympus, the big fat weddings." -Craig Ferguson
"I wanted to be a Boy Scout, but I had all the wrong traits.
They were looking for kids who were trustworthy, loyal,
helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful,
thrifty, brave, clean and reverent. Whereas I tended to
be devious, fickle, obstructive, hostile, impolite, mean,
defiant, glum, extravagant, dirty, and sacrilegious."
--George Carlin
"When I was a kid getting to borrow the car was a big deal.
Before he handed over the keys, my dad always gave me a
lecture. 'Now I'm not giving you this car so you can screw
it up.' Well, I said to myself, then I don't want it."
--Louie Anderson
"You can't believe how much hard work it is to con people
into thinking that you're productive when you're unemployed.
Always thinking up things to tell them you're going to do
tomorrow, having to exaggerate every minute of your nowhere
day...it's worse than having a job. At least when you're
employed, when people ask about your day you can tell them
to shut up and mind their own business." --Drew Carey
